It's not down to me to reject it, but since I am trying to avoid these
very same issues with the existing patch that seems to have crept into
yours, it's a little frustrating.

I see changes like:

and:

-}
-else if
+} elseif

Those sorts of things are what I am referring to, as well as an
increase of whitespace.

Well, it needs to be documented in the manpage -- we don't generally
point people to the documentation in the source file.  :P
